Re: something different 66 long travel truck
2.5 or 3" coil-overs up front would make a world of difference. Did I hear long travel 4 link rear?
Actually there are some awesome leaf spring kits that don't totally break the bank, and still achieve 15+ inches of travel!

Here is my daily driver, been this way for around 5+ years now-2001 2wd Silverado-Deaver long travel rear leaf's, 4" fabricated knuckles, some crappy coils, and Fabtech upper arms. New trucks aren't built like old ones, I'm on front hub/bearing assembly number 7($300+ each). FIberglass fenders and bedsides, self built bumper.

Oh yea, and plan on spending at least 1k per desert trip for replacement parts!

Could you fill me in on what parts you used and how you did this please, I'm restoring my 63 chevy and want to do something similar to this, because it's so dang awesome!

Thanks
